What's the fastest way to get custom chips? (1 Viewer)

[shanshan]

Wondering if its possible to get chips by 1/20/16.... no proofing period but some artwork help would be needed.
A few sites suggested 48 hour turnaround time but after reading many other posts, it sounds like weeks-to-months are in order? All very confusing to me.

For those curious on my design thoughts.. I basically love the rounders colors and have narrowed down to two themes... either replacing the bear with an animal/variety of animals (I love the elephant or gorilla).... and then an Indian themed set that will require some design help.

This could all be for naught though as I may just be flat out of time...!

Maybe ceramics? Ya, you're never getting custom clays in les than a month... Not sure if they have a premium pay for expidited processing, but even then it'd probably never happen.

Gotta email David at CPC

Ceramic chips will have a quicker turnaround compared to clay chips.

If you want ceramics contact some of the sites vendor and see who can produce them soonest.

Sal at OWPS OR Gene at ABC Gifts and Awards for the quickest on ceramics.

As I mentioned on Chiptalk..the quickest way would be to buy china clays...say the new Majestic chip available at Apache and have your design printed on a label and attach them yourself. This would be a semi-custom chip in that you cant design the colors of the chip themselves but you can select which you prefer and add your custom label to it.
There are many china clays available with different edgespot patterns and colors.
One of the other vendors on this site, Palm Gaming International sells chips and labels and for a small fee will attach them for you; just not sure if they can get them shipped to you with labels attached within your timeframe.

Here's a quick mockup using the majestic blank chips and one of your labels:

@Meddler2 CC is another option I thought also with custom labels. But figured that OP wanted custom "spots" also. Probably the fastest option.

Too many variables to factor in

OWPS already sells Rounders ceramics, so they may be the fastest for turnaround if you need a customized version.

Why the time crunch, are they a gift for someone?

I think the OP mentioned in another post (might be getting this confused with someone else?) that he has some event in January that he wants to roll these out for.

Thank you for all the responses (and thank you Meddler for the mockups!)! It is indeed a home game on Jan 21 for boss and colleagues. I've wanted custom chips for a while too and never got around to producing them. Years ago would have had something funny like my face on them etc., but today that may not be so funny.

Right now I'm now set on two custom sets... a modified rounder's set, which I think I could get fairly quickly (although perhaps not quick in enough for 1/21) and a more lengthily designed India-themed set. So goal #1 is to buy a modified rounders set or try to rent someone else's rounders set... and then goal #2 is to hire a designer for a more beautiful Indian-themed set.

I'm new to this site and I've already gotten the bug... that Day of the Dead set (which may have never been produced) looked pretty sweet as well.... poker chips now feeling like tattoos... once you get one, you itch for the next one! I saved a couple of old poker chips from old NYC club games but I am hopeful my wife didn't throw them out (I can't even remember all their names now! Diamonds... the one on 14th street where A-Rod showed up one day... the one where the teacher got shot during a robbery on 3rd avenue... there were earlier ones which I can't even remember how the rooms looked liked!) Wish I had all those chips still...

As you are in NY, your best bet is likely borrowing a set. Funding a buy-in, plus free food for the owner might do the trick!

Not a bad idea. Especially if you don't get an order submitted in the next few days.
